Himeji

LANCE OF VENUS (4) Tidy run when 2nd last start here. Has a great burst of speed late. Jockey Tomohiro Yoshimura is an asset. Tracking very well this preparation. Can go on with it. MIKO CASTANA (9) Performed below standard when 9th last start at the track. Masamichi Kashihara stable are on a hot streak. Kaisei Shinjou has a high strike rate on board. Respect against this field. SMART SATURN (6) Did well when 3rd last start around here. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Solid place bet prospects. HIIRAGI (3) Came in 5th last time here. Expecting to settle positively. Can be competitive.
